| Eureka | wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Planet edited | 01:45 |
| pleia2 | ok, I am done emailing the list for today now | 01:47 |
| jtatum | nice work on the theme pleia2! looks really good. | 01:48 |
| pleia2 | nice work on getting all the pieces into place! | 01:48 |
| pleia2 | between seidos, erichammond, nUboon2Age and the two of us this ended up being quite the team effort :) | 01:49 |
| jtatum | unlike working on html+css, getting pieces into place is fun for me. hehe | 01:49 |
| seidos | me? i didn't do anything O_O | 01:49 |
| pleia2 | seidos: planet was inspired by: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2010-October/001405.html :) | 01:49 |
| seidos | ah, inspiration. | 01:50 |
| pleia2 | and nUboon2Age collected all the replies and made the planet wiki page | 01:50 |
| seidos | i guess that counts for something (as opposed to nothing). | 01:52 |
| pleia2 | it certainly does | 01:52 |
| seidos | i haven't checked out "the planet". i am subscribed to the ubuntu planet, but not the california planet | 01:52 |
| pleia2 | even if you don't subscribe to the whole thing it's a useful place to go to get links to each others blogs | 01:53 |
| seidos | ah, i think i jumped the gun. there isn't a california planet yet is there? | 01:54 |
| jtatum | it's fascinating reading. after i set it up i read every entry on the page. great stuff | 01:54 |
| jtatum | seidos, what happened to your blog? it seems to be down or i would have added it | 01:54 |
| jtatum | the link redirected me to google | 01:54 |
| jtatum | planet.ubuntu-california.org | 01:54 |
| seidos | it is down. i was self-hosting it off my notebook jtatum | 01:55 |
| jtatum | ah | 01:55 |
| jtatum | wordpress.com | 01:56 |
| seidos | yeah, i wanted to learn wordpress, so i installed it here | 01:56 |
| seidos | it was on blogspot | 01:56 |
| seidos | but i deleted it. if i feel the content would change anyone's life or something, i would post it back up. | 01:57 |
| seidos | somehow | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | life-changing is a pretty high bar | 01:57 |
| seidos | i'm not sure how else to place value on writing anymore. | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | I just do it for fun, bonus if people actually read it ;) | 01:59 |
| seidos | i've written enough to grow tired of it. | 01:59 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:59 | |
| seidos | i have some fiction i'm working on. that might be fun. | 01:59 |
| * seidos shrugs | 01:59 | |
| jtatum | i like erichammond's blog. the first time i tried ec2 it was with an alestic image. this predated the official stuff | 02:06 |
| jtatum | earliest notes i can find about ec2 have this link: http://aws.amazon.com/amis/1065?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1 | 02:09 |
| erichammond | jtatum: Ah, those were some fun days... :) | 02:41 |
| jtatum | gnu/Linux = silliness | 03:24 |
| jtatum | sorry debian and fsf | 03:24 |
| iheartubuntu | Hello all | 03:59 |
| pleia2 | evening iheartubuntu | 03:59 |
| iheartubuntu | Any rain up yonder? | 04:00 |
| iheartubuntu | We have a break down here | 04:00 |
| iheartubuntu | Sounds like we might get hit again but even more | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | it's been a bit cloudy, but the sun made an appearance today and I think it's dry now | 04:01 |
| akk | We've had some slight drizzle in the south bay but not much. | 04:01 |
| iheartubuntu | Can't wait for SCaLE | 04:02 |
| pleia2 | me too, just bought my ticket today :) | 04:02 |
| iheartubuntu | I'm guessing I should get the full one | 04:04 |
| * pleia2 hears rain on window | 04:22 | |
| pleia2 | well, so much for that | 04:22 |
| akk | Yeah, started here too. | 04:24 |
| kdub_ | steady rain in the silicon waffle | 04:26 |
| jyo | Isn't the big storm system supposed to roll in tonight? | 05:22 |
| outofjungle | pleia2: FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_and_Gromit's_World_of_Invention | 08:05 |
| outofjungle | not sure if you are already aware of that one | 08:05 |
| pleia2 | seidos: fwiw, ubuntucalifornia.org is just a redirect to ubuntu-california.org | 17:46 |
| seidos | pleia2, yeah, i picked up on that. | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | so you can use either one, but the one people end up at will have the dash | 17:46 |
| pleia2 | (was just looking at your flier) | 17:47 |
| seidos | yeah, i tested it. that is what happens. | 17:47 |
| seidos | it's easier to remember, and it goes to where it is supposed to ^_^ | 17:47 |
| * pleia2 nods | 17:48 | |
| seidos | "how" are you this morning pleia2 ? | 17:48 |
| pleia2 | good but tired, had to start work early today | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | you? | 17:49 |
| seidos | i am feeling pretty decent. i woke up early, 6am as per usual since i arrived here. i did wake up 2 or 3 times in the night, and had a weird dream O_o | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | good weird or bad weird? | 17:50 |
| seidos | whoa, i don't know. not too bad. | 17:50 |
| seidos | probably good ^_^ | 17:50 |
| seidos | hard to say, dreams are so other worldly | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | :) | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 17:50 |
| seidos | it's almost like asking if a movie is good or bad, now that i think about it | 17:51 |
| akk | That usually has a pretty straightforward answer. | 17:54 |
| seidos | it does? i thought opinions on movies were quite varied. perhaps that's because mine vary considerably. i don't really know many people that like the movies that i like, especially *all* of them. | 17:56 |
| akk | You think "was it a good dream?" was asking "would everybody in the world, after having this exact dream, consider it good?" | 17:57 |
| jledbetter | Shared dreams would be fun. | 17:57 |
| akk | I mean, you know whether *you* liked a particular movie, most of the time, right? | 17:57 |
| akk | (with some exceptions ... in the middle of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World right now and can't decide) | 17:58 |
| jledbetter | akk, I want to see that. Something tells me that I will think that is good. | 17:58 |
| akk | jledbetter: If you look for reviews, they're all wonderful -- but the only people who ever saw/reviewed it are gamers and/or comic book fans. | 17:59 |
| akk | I'm neither, so I was leery ... it's cute and silly, has some clever parts and some stupid parts, I'll reserve overall decision 'til I've finished it. :) | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | I never decided whether I liked it or not | 18:00 |
| jledbetter | Heh. I'm in the gamer bucket. | 18:00 |
| akk | I heard it compared to Kick-Ass, but I definitely don't agree there -- Kick-Ass was definitely good. | 18:00 |
| seidos | actually, no, i don't think that. i am just exploring the idea. that is a consideration i am having, but it isn't *all* i think. | 18:01 |
| seidos | perhaps simply, i don't always agree with myself on what is a "good" movie and what is a "bad" movie, which implies i don't always agree with others. | 18:02 |
| seidos | so, i hope it doesn't annoy anyone, but i'm going to omit the hyphen when referring to ubuntucalifornia.org. | 18:03 |
| akk | Omitting the hyphen makes sense when talking out loud to people. Non-geeks get confused when you read them a url with a hyphen. | 18:04 |
| seidos | i don't see the point of it either way. | 18:05 |
| seidos | i guess to keep so-called geeks from getting uncomfortable | 18:06 |
| jledbetter | But geeks don't mind it? | 18:06 |
| seidos | perhaps geeks don't care either way. | 18:07 |
| akk | I haven't seen geeks objecting, and I've seen a lot of geeks (including myself) making domains with hyphens until we learn that other people get confused by them. | 18:07 |
| akk | And geeks are comfortable with things like variable_names_with_underscores and file_names_with_underscores_instead_of_spaces. | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | people gave me no ends of trouble for ubuntupennsylvania.org because they said it was hard to read | 18:08 |
| jledbetter | seidos, That could be. I know I'm an odd duck. I think of how it will look in print and how it will sound. | 18:08 |
| pleia2 | can't win :) | 18:08 |
| jledbetter | True. | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | but we have both so it's cool | 18:09 |
| jledbetter | Yes. Thank you. | 18:10 |
| seidos | ubuntupennsylvania.org isn't hard to read, it is just "hard" to recall. | 18:10 |
| seidos | i guess... | 18:10 |
| seidos | actually, it probably isn't hard to recall either | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | I think just reading it in an addressbar made their eyes unhappy | 18:10 |
| seidos | yeah. there is an aversion to long urls that i can understand | 18:10 |
| seidos | perhaps because i don't give people enough credit | 18:11 |
| seidos | that the url can't spread because people have terrible memories | 18:13 |
| seidos | actually, people do have terrible memories. my dad can't remember centerforpeacefulhealing.org | 18:13 |
| akk | Something like ubunt-ucalifornia or ubuntupennsylvania seems easy to recall, if you remember the word "ubuntu" and know how to spell your state. | 18:14 |
| seidos | unless you're hearing about it, and you live in new york. | 18:23 |
| seidos | but, is there any reason for the new york team to work with the california team? | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | one of the new york team guys was out here for the linux collaboration summit earlier this year, we do love our conferences | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | akk: I thought so too, which is why I registered ubuntupennsylvania.org, but people are goofy :) | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | I think they *remember* it, they just think it's hard to parse in the addressbar | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | or something, I never quite got it | 18:26 |
| akk | It's definitely hard to read in the addressbar. | 18:27 |
| akk | Which would be mostly a geek complaint, since normal people shut off immediately when they see a url. | 18:27 |
| seidos | isn't there a list of locos on ubuntu.com? | 18:29 |
| seidos | shuttleworth being on the top of the list *rim shot* | 18:29 |
| seidos | actually, then people would have to navigate the ubuntu website | 18:30 |
| seidos | bad idea | 18:31 |
| pleia2 | if you click "Community" on ubuntu.com local teams are one of the links on that page (it goes to loco.ubuntu.com) | 18:32 |
| seidos | yeah i saw it under "community structure" | 18:32 |
| seidos | time for the meal | 18:32 |
